This is an excellent description of how to develop the” X FACTOR” ” popularized a long time ago by JIM Mc LEAN ,or dissociation factor
To resist with the lower body ,or “brace the lower body ” “as you say ,you must slightly push forward your right knee while keeping it flexed.There’s a valuable training aid to help you do that,called “LOAD n’FIRE “which you strap on your right knee .Putting a rubber band coiled around your ankles and keeping it fully stretched during the coil also helps.

Hi Paul, thanks for that tip as I’m learning the body swing, guilty of no 3 over rotating the hips as soon as i opening the tip
and i front of my computer and watched the tips i realised i was not getting the torque quit right

Can you address blocking of the shoulder turn with me tightening my right shoulder and possibly re gripping at the top as a result. I can get doing a proper torque-turn which as you suggest does help me get powerless arms which is so enjoyable and powerful. (and helps my score immensely!) My issue is I keep regressing which seems to be starting with my right shoulder not being relaxed and what feels like blocking me from turning properly and getting my back to target … and often when do this also find that I have severely closed the club face which results in a loss of power and pull or if severe, a pull hook. (maybe re gripping?) Any drills to try and get better connection and relaxation for my right side in both backswing and downswing would be so appreciated!

Well, you would tighten because you are trying to get your arms in a position to hit. So no arms for starters. See your body as a spring. You are coiling the top and uncoiling the bottom. So visualize it instead of seeing it as you hitting the ball. Very simple. You are a spring. Then find something that is going to make you coil. Maybe it is the left shoulder, right shoulder, both shoulders instead of back to the target.

So I was on the right track but today went completely off the rails. I couldn’t stop over rotating and it just killed my swing today. Many different people I play with call me John Daly and it’s a term I don’t like. What it tells me is just how big my backswing is. Today no matter how hard I tried I saw the club head at the top of my backswing every time, then this just caused horrible shots.

Of course the guys said that my practice swing is nothing like my real swing so I guess I’m trying to “Hit” the ball when it’s go time. What do you think is the best drill I can do to stop this over swing.

I’ve been hitting more birdies and more greens since getting your course 3 weeks ago, along with longer drives then ever, but I just can’t keep it together throughout even 9 holes. For example, went birdie, then 10 on a par 5, bogey, bogey, par, birdie on Tuesday before we got rained out. I think it’s the overswing, but I really need some good tip on stopping this in my backswing and still feeling like I’m generating power.

Yes, you are looking for power going back so you can pull the club down and hit hard with the arms. Using the body is a completely different feeling that you need to get used to. Problem is you haven’t done it long enough to get good at it so you go right back to your old swing. You need to do the first drill at least 30 in a row to see the results. Give it a try. Once you shorten it up you will hit it longer than you eer have. I have shortened countless people over the years and they always hit it longer.

Paul, I bought the BodySwing videos about 4 weeks ago and have been practising since then. However my results only improved dramatically this week when I found this torque video. For the past few weeks I was swinging “torque free” thinking I had an effortless swing and probably doing all 6 of the relieving moves you mention in this video. I have now fixed that and am constantly looking for the stretch. Different things work for different people but certainly for me I think having this torque video in the Bodyswing videos would have been very helpful. Glad I found it though.
Thanks
Glenn
